| description | The popularity of AO method among the surgeons, and organization of Iranian chapter of AO Alumni Association, were well known and not possible to be ignored, but It was necessary to find a way to have trauma training as before and holding events and courses under the umbrella of a scientific Association. So the Persian Orthopaedic Trauma Association (POTA) was founded in 2002. The association has focused on training and proper treatment of all kinds of traumas related to extremities and spine. In this regard, we are in close relations with professionals for scientific exchanges. Some of the activities of POTA are seasonal scientific meeting, scientific events in different provinces of the country, nursing orthopaedic workshop, POTA board and ATLS and PH-TLS training classes. POTA is one of the associated society of EFFORT (European Federation of the national association of Orthopaedic and Traumatology) and has started to do the same aim with DKOU (German Congress of Orthopaedics and Traumatology). POTA has begun publishing a magazine titled "the Journal of Orthopedic and Spine Trauma (JOSTrauma)" that aims at trauma-related issues especially in developing countries. |
